[Paraview] ParaView 2.4 on Mac OS 10.4, PowerPC

[Chad Glendenin]

Thank you for sharing the linker trick! I was able to build ParaView  
2.4.4 with GCC 3.3 and with GCC 4.0 on Mac OS X 10.4.7 on a G4, and  
both binaries are working perfectly so far. I think I remember trying  
those linker settings a few months ago and only getting a segfault,  
but I must have been making some other mistake.
